Summary

A wonderfully murky, carnivalesque world of intrigue, unexpected friendships and mysteries solved.

Sheba the wolf girl joins an unusual troupe of performers that includes Pyewacket, a witch's imp; Gigantus the giant and Sister Moon, a knife thrower. For the first time in her life she feels she might make true friends, and learn a real stage craft. But soon that's not all she has to think about . . .

Children are being sucked into the Thames and there have been strange sightings of a mechanical monster. The carnival troupe know first-hand that looks only tell half a story - they become determined to find these forgotten children. Perhaps they will unravel the mystery that has defied even the law!

'Thrilling, original, full of zest and wit.' The London Times
'An atmospheric and exciting read.' BookTrust
'A page-turning adventure.' The Daily Mirror

Carnival of the Lost

Such a great story. Will really promote this in my school library. Hope the group get another mystery to solve.

What a great book!

Hopefully this will become a series because I want to hear more about all the characters in this story and find out more about Sheba's childhood. The mystery is fairly simply put together, but presented in a way that it's hard to guess where the plot will take you. I really enjoyed this book so I finished it in 3 listening sessions as it really kept me hooked to the story.
